Mulusew Fikere's work applies statistical genetics and genomics methods, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic prediction, to crops and livestock/insects. Past projects have studied disease resistance and seed quality traits in canola, fruit quality traits in strawberry and peach, wheat stem rust in Ethiopia, and genetic diversity in barley, alongside broader methodological work on GWAS standards and heritability estimation. This research is aimed at improving breeding programs by identifying genetic markers linked to important agricultural traits.
